The new GreenTech Hub brings together 16 partners from leading financial and business institutions, industrial associations, and renowned universities. This collaboration facilitates business opportunities, fosters knowledge exchange and best practices, and bridges financing gaps to expedite green technology. Additionally, these universities offer talent training, testing and application scenarios for greentech solutions, further accelerating the commercialisation of R&D outcomes.
